It's easy! Just find the item you want, and click "Add to Basket". Add as many items as you want, and when you are ready to finish, click on "Checkout" at the upper right of your screen. You'll be prompted for the necessary information to create an account. Once this is done, you'll see a summary of your order, with the grand total. Then choose your credit card type, and click "Finish". Also, don't forget to save your login and password – you can use them next time you order to quickly access your personal information for a speedy checkout!

Currently, TOPFOODSERVICE.COM does not offer online orders for customer pickup in the store. We hope to add this feature soon. If you need to pick up your order at our store, please contact us by phone to make arrangements.

5. I need to cancel my order. How do I proceed?
Contact us by phone as soon as possible to cancel your order. Read more about canceling an order in our Shipping Policies.

6. Can I place a special order?
Special orders must meet a minimum of $300 (or the factory’s minimum order, whichever is greater), not including shipping or taxes, and must conform to all case pack rules. A special order can take anywhere from 1 to 12 weeks for arrival, depending on the item and factory availability. Please contact us for more information.

7. How do I request a quote?
Please email your quote request in plain text (no attachments please) to “ customerservice@topfoodservice.com Attn: Quote Request”. You can also fax a legible copy to us at 212-219-3615. Most quotes will take several days to process, so please plan accordingly.

8. Will you sell an item in less than a case pack?
There is the unit of measure(sale by dozen or sale by case) for that item described in the Product Description for each item. In order to keep prices down for all of our customers, we are limited to selling items by the listed unit of measure only, and cannot break cases.

9. How do I track my order?
Tracking numbers for UPS-shipped orders are the evening an order ships, usually 2 business days after the order was placed. If you don't receive a tracking number, your order may have shipped using another carrier, or there may be a delay. Contact us by phone or email and we'll track your order down for you.

10. I can't add items to my basket.

Products & Services
1. Why won’t you sell gas equipment to residential customers?
There are several reasons for this. On gas equipment, the most important factor is that they are not certified by the American Gas Association (AGA) for residential use; consequently, should this range ever start a fire, your homeowner's insurance will not cover it, and your entire policy may be voided. Consequently, the manufacturer’s warranty is also voided once this unit has been installed in a residence, and most repair agencies will not service the unit because of the inherent liability involved in a residential installation. Also, these units do not have insulated cabinets and feature constant 24-hour pilots, factors which present a potential fire and burn hazard in the home. Contact your local kitchen designer for help in locating residentially certified equipment for your home. 

2. Will you send samples of your products?
We are not able to send samples of our products, as our entire inventory is made available for immediate purchase. You may purchase the product, and return it for credit less shipping/handling charges should it not meet your expectations. Read our Return Policy to learn more.

3. Do you offer custom printing and engraving?
we do not offer any custom printing/engraving services.

4. Do you offer a catalog?
For a copy of our catalog, please email us your request, along with your name, the name of your business, and your mailing address.

5. I think TOPFOODSERVICE.COM should carry a certain item.
We welcome your suggestions! Please email us at sales@topfoodservice.com with any available information on the item, including Manufacturer, Model Number, and a general description of the item. Your suggestion will be forwarded to our Purchasing department for review.
  
6. Do you offer any opening package or volume discounts?
As our pricing is already highly competitive, we don't generally offer any sort of discounting.

7. Do you sell any used equipment?
TOPFOODSERVICE.COM sells only new items, and does not stock used or refurbished equipment.

8. Do you lease or rent equipment?
Currently, we do not lease or rent equipment. However, contact us and we can recommend a qualified leasing company to help you finance your purchase with us.

Shipping
1. How much does shipping cost?
Shipping for most orders is calculated using live data from the UPS shipping database, which calculates real-time shipping costs based on both the weight and dimension of each carton.

Tracking information is sent via email once your order has shipped, usually within 2 business days of placing the order.

Contact us if you have not received your tracking information after 2 business days. Please note that special order items are shipped from the factory and shipping information will not available until the items are shipped.
